Want this question answered?
There is no such thing as a "boy hen". Hens are female chickens.
Hens lay eggs, the ones you eat.
a hen house is where the hens produce table eggs.
Yes, only the hen sits on eggs.
It can take 6 to 12 months before Barnevelder hens start to lay eggs. The exact time is different for each hen.
Every single breed of hen (even mix) will sit on their eggs when they feel like they want chickens. One of the hens that brood alot are brahma hens.
all hens lay eggsregardlessof anything also what is a "sangria" hen?
Without eggs we cannot get hens.....without hens we cannot get eggs!
Hens lay eggs. Thus, obviously female.
Pick her up. You could wear gloves, some hens are possessive about their eggs. If the hen is broody and you don't want her to sit on the eggs put her in a cage or somewhere by herself. A hen house that has a section that can be closed off from other hens is a good idea.
No. Only hens lay eggs but hen hatched eggs are only found on small farms. Most fertilized eggs are artificially incubated and the chicks never see the hen who laid them. Chicken do not really benefit from the mother hen all that much anyway. Chicks are born able to feed themselves and instinctively know how to be a chicken. If you are asking if the rooster helps the hen incubate the clutch of eggs, then no, once the rooster has mated with the hen he is not involved.
we eat the rooster because the hen might have eggs
